    Patelt: WOW awesome job on the loss of 11lbs!! Bet thats motivating in itself!

    I only have 383 calories to burn to reach my 3500. I did slim in 6 ab workout and ramp it up for a calorie burn of 427. Its going to be 79 degrees today so will be bringing the dog for a walk and plus still have my workout tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is almost at their calorie goals!

    Well I came up short for Week 1 and only managed 2984 but I started the challenge near the end of my week so I'm determined to get 3500 this week. This was actually the most calories I've burned from exercise since starting mfp so it was motivating. :)

    I'm in--3500 a week is my goal and I definitely could use the motivation to get off my butt!
    Last week I burned 4666 calories, but it was made much easier by a trip to the zoo where I was on my feet all day and swimming most of the day yesterday. I typically burn 450-500 calories per day with walking/jogging on the treadmill and riding my bike.

    WOW, I don't think I'm up to this challenge. I'm going to see how many calories I burn this week and get back to you on if I can get up to the 3500 mark. I don't want to kill myself YET lol...but I'm going to keep coming here for inspiration, that's for sure!!

    Great going guys!!

    I fell a little short last week too but I agree participating in the challenge is very helpful because otherwise I wouldn't have burned as many calories as I did. And every week there is a new opportunity to succeed! :)

    I'll be in when I get my Zumba DVD's soon!!! :ohwell:

    Out of curiosity, i checked the database to see how many calories i burn rollerblading....i was SHOCKED to see that i could burn like 1200 rollerblading for 1.5 hours. (about 10 miles on a trail we have in Louisiana...) looks like i'll have to factor rollerblading in somehow again. I just joined last week.....not sure how many calories i burn in an hour of Zumba....will invest in a HRM SOON also!!!:drinker:

    I only managed 2715 this week. :( Had to miss one day of working out because of work and it has rained here the last three days and so I haven't been able to get in any hiking which is what really helped me hit the mark last week. Oh well, it is a new week and new opportunity to succeed! Lol
